It takes just 10 mins – the hardest part is waiting for the jelly to set because let’s be honest, waiting for dessert is hard! And secondly, jello and custard tastes awesome together.

This recipe blends peachy, mango flavours with Moscato wine perfectly. It’s an easy recipe that can be made by the glass, or mixed in a pitcher for a group. We love this cocktail, it’s the perfect summer drink recipe because above all, it’s sweet, refreshing and bubbly…what more could you ask for?

We recommend serving this cocktail in tall glasses – or break out some mason jars and throw in some straws and of course, don’t forget the fresh fruit garnish. If you’re serving from a pitcher, throw some of the fresh fruit slices into the mix for added flavour.

What do you need to decorate Campfire Cupcakes?

• Chocolate Cupcakes
• Buttercream Icing
• Food Colouring
• Stick Pretzels
• Mini Marshmallows
• Toothpicks
• Cupcake Liners
• A Lighter
• Piping Bags
• Large Star Icing Tip
• Plastic Wrap

How to decorate Campfire Cupcakes:

• First, make cupcakes using your favourite chocolate cake recipe.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, break pretzel sticks in half and push them into the cupcakes, creating logs for the fire. Six pretzel pieces look great.
• Using a delicious buttercream icing (our recipe is at the end of this page), create three equal portions of icing.
• Add food colouring to each portion to make one red, one orange and finally, one yellow.
• Place the colours in a single line on top of a piece of saran wrap. One line per colour, side by side.
• Carefully roll the icing into a log shape.
• Place the rolled icing into a prepared pipping bag with a large star tip.
• Carefully pipe the icing onto the cupcake and pretzels. Using a circular motion, starting wide and ending in a pointed tip.
• Now for the charming part! Place a mini marshmallow onto the end of a toothpick and then carefully toast them to create a roasted marshmallow look. Perfect for making tiny s’mores!
• Finally, stick the cute mini marshmallow sticks into the campfire cupcakes to complete these adorable long weekend cupcakes!!

Amazing Campfire Cupcakes

First, make cupcakes using your favourite chocolate cake recipe. We like this one from Vegan Huggs. While they are baking and cooling, let’s begin to make the fiery icing!

Using a delicious buttercream icing (our recipe is at the end of this page), create three equal portions of icing. Add food colouring to each portion to make one red, one orange and finally, one yellow. We strongly recommend using gel colouring over the liquid type. The gel will give more vibrant colours and will not change the consistency of the icing.

Place the colours in a single line on top of a piece of saran wrap. One line per colour, side by side.

Carefully roll the icing into a log shape.

Place the rolled icing into a prepared pipping bag with a large star tip.

Getting back to the cupcakes! Once the cupcakes have cooled, break pretzel sticks in half and push them into the cupcakes, creating logs for the fire. Six pretzel pieces look great.

Once the pretzel sticks are in place, carefully pipe the icing onto the cupcake. Using a circular motion, starting wide and ending in a pointed tip.

Now for the charming part! Place a mini marshmallow onto the end of a toothpick and then carefully toast them to create a roasted marshmallow look. Perfect for making tiny s’mores!

Finally, stick the cute mini marshmallow sticks into the campfire cupcakes to complete these adorable long weekend cupcakes!!

What You’ll Need:

• Ice Cream Cone Template
• Plain apron
• Felt in Tan, Blue and White
• Iron on adhesive
• Embroidery thread in Brown and five other bright colours
• Iron
• Scissors
• Needle
• One pink pom pom
• Glue
• Pencil and/or marker

How to Make an Ice Cream Cone DIY Apron

Firstly, print and cut out the ice cream cone template, separating the ice cream from the cone.

Secondly, trace the cone template onto the tan felt…

And the ice cream templates onto the blue and white felt and then cut out the traced shapes.

Use the brown thread to make waffle cone lines on the tan felt. Start by marking the lines on the wrong side of the cone with a marker and then sewing lines, following the dotted pattern.

Make coloured sprinkles in the white felt by sewing small double lines in random places all over the ice cream dome.

We made 3-5 sprinkles per colour.

Trace and cut out each piece of felt from the iron-on bonding paper.

Follow the directions of the bonding paper. Usually, the first step is to iron the clear, ‘bumpy’ side of the bonding to the wrong side (the side without the embroidery) of the felt. Hold an iron (do not use steam) over the felt and press and hold until the bond has taken.

Then peel the paper backing off and lay it onto the apron. Press with the iron until bonded. Try not to rub the iron back forth too much.

Finally, glue the pom pom in place on the top of the ice cream cone.

And it’s done – ready to wear for some BBQ fun! Hosting a party to show off your new Ice Cream Cone DIY Apron? Certainly try some of these summer long weekend recipes – Strawberry Rhubarb Cocktail, the Ultimate List of Summer Dessert Ideas, and the Ultimate List of Summer Dinner Ideas.
